Multiscale Engineering of Ion-Conducting Gels for Sustainable Bioelectronic Systems.
Review in Small methods, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ion-conducting gels are indispensable for bioelectronics, offering softness, high ionic conductivity, and biocompatibility. Nevertheless, sustaining robust performance under physiological conditions demands moving beyond isolated material or device innovations to a unified, multiscale design approach. At the material level, advances in polymer network engineering enable precise tuning of ion mobility, retention, and electrochemical stability, while simultaneously imparting mechanical toughness, hydration preservation, and self-healing. At the device level, these gels are tailored for seamless electrode integration, ensuring high signal fidelity, low impedance, and stable ionic-electronic coupling under deformation. When integrated into closed-loop architectures encompassing biosignal acquisition, signal processing, and feedback control, ion-conducting gels evolve from passive conductors into active, reconfigurable elements within autonomous diagnostic and therapeutic systems. This review highlights the critical interplay of material design, device integration, and system-level engineering in advancing long-lived, sustainable bioelectronic technologies.
